Sometimes I look forward to Mondays. I’m well-rested after the weekend and I’m ready to tackle work first thing Monday morning. Sometimes I dread Mondays, especially if there are boring meetings scheduled or some unpleasant task to deal with. Quite often, I just wish I had another day in the weekend. This morning, I’m kind…

I made it to 10,000 words! Woo hoo! My secret? Don’t read it. I suspect it’s tripe. Do I care? At this point, no. I’m thinking if I make it to 25,000, maybe I’ll read it. Then again, it might make me not want to continue. Maybe I should just hold off until it’s done.…

i.e. to me. I haven’t looked at these in a while, but over the weekend, I was bored and starting looking at the search words that lead people here. Generally, I get standard searches like “mom” and “geeky mom” and of course “sexy mom” but sometimes I get funny and odd ones. So here’s some…

Okay, my panties are in a wad. Last night before I went to bed, I read this column by Eleanor Clift where she tells me that I shouldn’t get my panties in a wad over Alito’s nomination to the Supreme Court. After all, she says, the public wants women to be required to notify their…

It’s a Saturday night. I’m tired. Mr. Geeky is out of town and the kids are down at a friend’s house. I’ve got an hour and a half to myself. So I put my jammies on, even though it’s only 7, make some hot cider, and pop in my Netflixed DVD, Sideways. I’m just starting…

Apparently Blogger is down for a couple of hours. Dang! I had all these things bookmarked and was all ready to share with the world. Well, the world will have to wait a bit, I guess. Let’s see. There are riots and violent protests. We have an extraordinarily conservative nominee to the Supreme Court. Let’s…

In honor of the trees being absolutely gorgeous, I thought a fall mix was in order, plus a picture or three. There are more at Flickr. “Will She Just Fall Down” ‘Til Tuesday“Fall Over Me Satellite” Aaron Booth “When I Fall” Barenaked Ladies “Fall With You” Lava Hay“I Fall To Pieces” Patsy Cline“Fall on Me”…

I’ve made an executive decision to come home at lunch time today. This has been a crazy week. I got a good night’s sleep last night, but I’m just feeling half-crazy. There are house things that need to get done before it gets out of control. And I’d like to do it today instead of…

I’m up to 5,648 words so far. I’ve finished one chapter and started the next one. I was hoping to get to 6,000, but I’m functioning on 5.5 hours of sleep, so there ya go. I am trying desperately not to think about how awful and boring what I’m writing is. I’m just trying to…

When I was a tween and through my teenage years, I was perfectly content to spend long periods of time alone. Some of my strongest memories involve me sitting by myself reading a book or writing. In fact, when I went on vacation with my family, I was often referred to as “The Mole” because…
